They might say that Preacher was Anointed cause He really was loud and stomped around ,or He preached really fast, or He really blasted those in sin.
You might even ask such people what did the Preacher preach on and what were His key points ? they might not even know ,but yet the Preacher was really anointed ?
What makes a preacher truly Anointed?
What are Biblical qualifications that we could equate with being Anointed?

If the preacher was called of God to preach and he is filled with the Holy Ghost (he wouldn't be called of God to preach if he wasn't filled with the Holy Ghost), he is anointed. It has nothing whatsoever to do with how well he works himself up into an emotional frenzy or whips the congregation up into some sort of emotional frenzy.

It seems like this is assuming that any Holy Ghost filled preacher is "called." I think some/many have a self calling.

Also, to take your statement at face value, one would need to believe you feel that anything a Holy Ghost filled person does is "anointed." For all it is worth, if this is what is implying, I strongly disagree.

I think we all have heard some Holy Ghost filled preachers/teachers that were the most unanointed speakers - long winded, boring, technically wrong, full of themselves, constantly harping on their hobbyhorse pet doctrine, etc. I sure have. (obviously not all at the same time, or all from the same person) I think ANYONE would be hard pressed to call these people "anointed."

I do not agree with that, I know some pretty loud preachers that are annointed, as well as some calm preachers. I do not think that the annointing is limited to our understanding of loud or calm & reserved. I think that if the preacher can get you engrossed to what he is saying, and you feel the HG while he is preaching, then I would say that that is annointing. jmho

Go back and READ THE WORDS. STOP TRYING TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the preacher was called of God to preach and he is filled with the Holy Ghost (he wouldn't be called of God to preach if he wasn't filled with the Holy Ghost), he is anointed.

I said EXACTLY AND ONLY what I said. None of this other nonsense your talking about is contained anywhere in what I said.

Let me translate it for you: A preacher is anointed IF: 1) he is called of God to preach and; 2) he is filled with the Holy Ghost. (Parenthetical statement: God does not call anyone to preach whom He does not also fill with the Holy Ghost). Both conditions 1 and 2 must be present.

As for all that other stuff you mentioned, just because God has anointed him doesn't mean he's perfect. Sometimes anointed men of God do step out and start operating in their flesh. Remember Baalam the prophet and remember King Saul.
